you just have to say to yourself, this is not real. >> reporter: the teenage brother of a sandy hook elementary school student described the terror in his little sister, the experience. >> she was very frightened when she came out. she was crying, all the other students were crying. and the thing she told me is that it really started when she heard gunshots and screams on the intercom, there were screams, the school was on lockdown, they were hiding in a tiny closet, all bundled up. when they left, the troopers, the fbi, told all the children to hold hands and close their eyes until they were outside. so obviously what was in there must have been very gruesome. >> reporter: now, police are still investigating a motive for the massacre, which is now the second deadliest school shooting in u.s. history, after the 2007 mass shooting at virginia tech. a police spokesperson said tonight that medical examiners are still on site and the identities of the victims are still being confirmed. although the names could be released as early as tomorrow. >> it is a horrific scene, between our mutua

not a law banning the 30-round ammunition magazines used in sandy hook elementary school. not a law banning assault weapons. not a law tightening access to ammunition. not any kind of law that would make it in any way even slightly more difficult for a mad man to obtain the very best tools in the world for up close mass murder. not one more law. it is now impossible to count how many people wayne lapierre owes an apology to. there are all of those who have been killed by weapons that became available after he made sure the assault weapons ban would not be renewed. there are the parents of the dead, the brothers and sisters of the dead. the children of the dead. and then there are millions. truly, millions and millions more. because in his most vile fundraising letter before the last presidential election, wayne lapierre actually said this about what would happen if barack obama was reelected president of the united states. "the night of november 6th, 2012, you and i will lose more on the election battlefield than our nation has lost in any battle any time, anywhere." there
